said a source from the hospital.

Deepika Padukone, Anubhav Sinha and Farah Khan were present during the
cremation.

Film writer Ombar Qureshi condoled
Bobby’s death.

“Bobby Chawla – always smiling
always affable. You will be missed. Heartfelt condolences to Juhi and all the
family. Strength be with you.”

Juhi was very much attached to her
brother; she once said in an interview, "My emotional anchor was my mom.
But I lost her in a car accident a year after my marriage. A few years later,
my dad became sick and I lost him too.

My brother Bobby is eight years older than me. As kids, he and I would fight
like cats and dogs. He would often push me and I would go flying and would hate
him for it. He initially moved to Delhi to work, but then returned to Mumbai to
build a career. After losing her, my brother became my anchor and I thought he
would be there with me through thick and thin, but he has been in coma for a
few years now. My husband Jai is today my anchor in every way and I am most
attached to my children, Jai and my in-laws. What Jai cannot solve for me, I
leave it to time to sort itself. I was broken when I lost my mum and then
again, when my brother fell ill. I became spiritual. I questioned many things
and am still questioning. Sometimes I feel scared that there is no one sitting
up there. Of course, I also hold on more to my family and value them even more
now."
